Testimonials

The services and assistance that the people at GroupQuest provide have helped me improve the quality and professionalism that I bring to my client relationships. Coupled with their wealth of industry experience, I really feel I have a truly indispensable asset for my business.

-Kevin Giffin
Full Circle Financial

It's been over 4 years since I signed an MGA contract with GroupQuest and I could not be happier. From producing beautiful, detailed renewal reports, to providing competitive market surveys, to handling client requests and problems...GroupQuest has made my group insurance business way more productive, profitable and way less time consuming. Mario, Lisa and their team do most of the work I used to do. Their work is timely and accurate and it really is a pleasure doing business with them.

-Bram Friedman
Friedman Financial

I have been very happy with the service from GroupQuest. They handle my cases with care and present my renewals in a very professional manner. In a world that is becoming ever busier it is nice to have a Group MGA that understands what I need with respect to the Group business.

-Stephen O'Neill
Assante Wealth Management
